The fact that they worded in the power specifically how long it lasts - that is until the summons reaches 0 hit points, if you use a minor action to dismiss it, or until you use the power again - pretty clearly tells you how long the power is meant to last. This is where it diverts from the more general summoning rules, otherwise they would just be reprinting material that is already clearly stated: we already know that a summons can be dismissed with a minor action. We already know that, in general, you can use ANY power again - if I have ANY daily attack power I can use the power again in the same day if I have a way of recalling a daily attack spell, regardless of whether it lasts for an encounter or not. There is no reason to tell us these things if it works the same as any other summons or any other daily attack power. The fact that they state specifically how long this particular daily power works is a blunt indication of how long it lasts - it lasts until the summons reaches 0 hit points. Otherwise, it lasts until you use a minor action to dismiss it, or until you use the power again, just like the power says.</blockquote>
